I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 576 One Cup to the Rising Sun, One Cup to the Moonlight

The debate over whether Ye Xian's acting skills deserved the Best Actor award has been raging online, but after Cat Brother's short video was released, many people immediately shut up.

This time, no one even received a mention of praise from the Royal Observer.

Cat Brother's seemingly critical but actually complimentary remarks left many haters speechless.

How do I connect?

While some might call Ye Xian a "traffic star," he hasn't actually done any of the things that traffic stars do.

Saying Ye Xian has no acting skills? The box office speaks for itself. If the box office had been dismal, people could have criticized him, but how can they criticize him now?

Saying Ye Xian is exploiting consumers? Aside from selling products, he has never endorsed any GG products, participated in any commercial performances, or even held many roadshows. The only thing that could be considered exploitation is his box office performance.

The question is, how many fans does he have enough to exploit?

Even if each of Ye Xian's 9999 million+ fans watched all three of his movies, it wouldn't be possible for him to generate a total box office of 241 million. Not to mention that many of these 9999 million+ fans are just there to keep him company.

When you try to make a cringeworthy comment, it often ends up being a joke if you can't pull it off.

In addition, with Ye Xian having so many fans now, his strong foundation will quickly drown out the comments of many haters, leaving no trace.

This demonstrates the immense influence of A-list celebrities.

Yes, after winning the Best Actor award, Ye Xian officially entered the ranks of top-tier actors.

This is something that angers many people in the industry. Because he didn't have any major awards like Best Actor or Best Singer, Ye Xian was still considered a second-tier star before he won the Golden Bamboo Award.

Have you ever seen a second-tier celebrity with over 9999 million followers?

Have you ever seen a second-tier celebrity who is more popular than a top-tier celebrity?

Ye Xian is it!

In fact, after Ye Xian was rated as a first-tier star, many second-tier stars breathed a sigh of relief, and first-tier stars also breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason for being second-tier is that Ye Xian will no longer compete with them for resources.

The reason for choosing a first-tier city is that they no longer have to be told they are inferior to someone from a second-tier city.

The entertainment industry is truly amazing.

……

On December 30, Ye Xian updated his short video account with a new short video.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xian. I'm a full-time seller, a part-time cook, an occasional singer, a storyteller, and sometimes an actor."

"Recently, I have achieved some small successes and gained everyone's recognition. This makes me feel both apprehensive and grateful. It is because of you that I am where I am today."

In a first-person, horizontal shot, Ye Xian, dressed in a tuxedo, accepts the Best Actor award from the presenter.

The stars were shining brightly, and at this moment, Ye Xian's face flashed with the happiest smile.

The camera panned back to show the entire audience applauding and rising to their feet, congratulating Ye Xian on this honor. Some faces showed happy smiles, some showed gratified smiles, some showed professional fake smiles, and some showed disdainful sneers.

Under the countless flashing lights and strobes, everyone's smiles appeared both clear and blurry.

The camera pans up, revealing two large handwritten characters above the brightly lit hall.

"Eliminating sorrow"

Small print below: Lyrics/Music/Singing by Ye Xian

The camera pans down, revealing Ye Xian in a simply furnished room. Beside him stands a teacher with an excellent appearance and demeanor. Ye Xian is practicing his performance under the teacher's guidance.

When you walk into this place of joy

Carry all your dreams and aspirations

different face makeup

Nobody remembers what you look like.

[Warning: High-energy content ahead! Brother Xian drinks eight cups of wine, crushing all who dare to challenge him in the music scene!]

[This isn't just about suppressing the music industry; it's about suppressing all the haters and rivals who have been active during this period!]

[I knew it! With Brother Xian's fiery temper, how could he not respond? Turns out it was all in the eight cups of wine in this song!]

Wow, Brother Xian released a new song, and it's even in the video format he used to love! That's awesome!

……

In almost no time, Ye Xian's new song short video received over a million likes, and countless comments followed. After listening to the whole song, some people couldn't wait to return to the beginning of the short video to post comments, reminding everyone to be mentally prepared.

Brother Xian will use eight cups of wine to suppress all those who dare to defy him.

Tian Yan, who was watching a short video, was also intrigued by the comments. As Xian Ge's personal reporter, she knew a lot about Ye Xian and was quite familiar with his personality. She knew that he usually didn't respond to outside opinions, so she didn't really believe that Xian Ge would write a song to respond to the haters.

Moreover, these little black-clad bastards are nothing to worry about during this period.

"One cup to the rising sun, one cup to the moonlight"

……

I'm not afraid of rain in my heart or frost in my eyes.

……

One cup to my hometown, one cup to distant places

……

The soul no longer has nowhere to rest

... "

In the scene, Ye Xian is no longer following Hu Li to learn, but following behind Director Jia, learning how to film, listening to Director Jia's instructions, and constantly improving his acting skills.

Many longtime fans almost broke down when they saw this.

When Ye Xian decided to livestream the filming of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in a slow-motion format, he faced a lot of resistance, but he persisted and was awarded the Golden Lotus Award for Special Contribution.

Many longtime fans know that these clips are actually of Ye Xian during filming, not staged, but precious behind-the-scenes footage.

From Ye Xian's very first song, I thought he was a good guy, quite interesting. But when I heard this song, I was truly amazed. Every line pierced my heart; the whole song was like a poem, flowing smoothly and brimming with emotion. The subtle sadness that slipped through the air created a powerful visual imagery, reflecting his unique melancholy. I want to praise him a few more times, but I feel like I'm running out of words!

[I really can't listen to songs like Xian Ge's; they're so relatable. Songs like "The Farthest Place I Can See," "A Person Like Me," and "So Many People in This World" made my heart feel like it was being tightly gripped. His lyrics are always so poignant. They're like stories, like narratives, and also like advice.]

[Brother Xian is always so unreasonable. Sunrise, moonlight, hometown, distant places—simple words, yet they broke me, a forty-year-old man. I didn't earn any money this year, and I didn't dare go home for the Spring Festival. I feel like my soul has nowhere to rest!]

[Who said this is a rebuttal to the haters? It's clearly Brother Xian encouraging himself, and also encouraging everyone to move forward. It may seem downcast, but it's actually one of Brother Xian's best motivational songs!]

"The restless guests"

Performing with self-righteousness

Pretending to dance, exhausted

You pick up your glass and say to yourself

... "

Tian Yan suddenly understood that this song might have a bit of a rebuttal to the haters, but it was more about recounting her journey to success.

In the adult world, there is no such thing as "easy".

Ye Xian never boasts about how hard he works in public. The only time he did so was at this awards ceremony when he jokingly called himself a "scrolling god".

More often than not, people learn about Ye Xian's eccentricities through the words of Qiuye Yanxuan artists such as Li Xin, Duan Fei, Chen Xu, Li Hong, Yinwu Girls, and Deng Qiqi.

His paper didn't seem like it was to prove himself, but rather it was a purposeful and planned way to enrich and improve himself.

It seemed as if he had an anxiety about being eliminated if he didn't work hard.

This kind of anxiety is most common in the workplace.
